A quick post

is a good post! Or at least, better than no post.

There is little news from my corner of Melbourne. We are all head down and moving forward through normal work/school activities, hoping for some warmer weather and trying to eek out a little time to do the things we love.

I have only a few months left of being a parent of a school child! Come November, my lovely girl will be a graduate and looking forward to pursuing her interests in drama. At the same time my music boy will be heading off to Italy for a jazz course and travelling in Europe. So lots of exciting things to look forward to.

Having finished a new quilt - it was time to spruce up an old one. I made this quilt quite a few years ago. It was foundation pieced and hand quilted. Yes...I do occasionally hand quilt, but I am not very good at and I don't enjoy it that much.

I have the George III quilt on a bit of a go slow, but managed to get another circle completed during the week. I am a bit behind!

And my next two Caswell blocks. Not too many to go! In fact I'm so close to being done with the blocks I'm starting to think about the border. Might do something different from the original pattern.

I'm not getting around to responding to many comments at the moment I'm afraid.......sorry! Please know that I value your interest and read all your comments.
